I bought a Samsung 226bw and am quite happy with it. However, after I bought it, I saw one I liked better...you mentioned you liked the glossy finish on the HP (I do too ). Well, i found a Samsung 22" with a glossy screen too. Look for the 2232gw. Its a little pricier than the 226bw (which cost me $320). I think the glossy is about $40 more, but its BEAUTIFUL!
